SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

Important cord information

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the

other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, there is only one way

this plug is intended to ﬁt into a polarized outlet. If the plug does

not completely ﬁt into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not

ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not attempt to modify the

plug in any way.

A short power supply cord (or detachable power supply cord)

should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming

entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer detachable power supply cords or extensions cords may

be used if they are used carefully.

If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension cord is

used:

1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord

should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appli-

ance;

2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the

countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children or

tripped over unintentionally; and

3) If the appliance has a grounded plug, the cord set or extension

cord should also be a grounded 3-wire cord.

SKMK 1000 A2 US-EN │ 9 ■

Before ﬁrst use

The steam outlet openings 2 on the lid emit hot steam! There is a

risk of scalding!

Never open the lid during the brewing process! Hot steam may

escape or hot water may splash. There is a risk of scalding!

The hot plate 7 underneath the coﬀee pot 6 heats up to a high

temperature during brewing and while keeping your coﬀee hot.

There is a risk of burns!

Never add more than 10 cups of water to the water tank 0

(MAX marker).

There is a small hole 3 on the back of the appliance. This is a

water overﬂow that prevents you from adding too much water

to the appliance. If too much water is added beyond the MAX

marking, the water runs through this water overﬂow 3 onto the

countertop.

If the appliance is moved when the water tank 0 is full (10 cups

of water), water may come out of the water overﬂow 3.

Never ﬁll less than 2 cups of water into the water tank 0. The ﬁll

level indicator 4 on the water tank 0 is a useful guide.

1) Place the appliance on a level, heat-resistant surface.

2) Thoroughly rinse the coﬀee pot 6 with water and insert it

into the appliance.

3) Open the lid by lifting it up using the handle 1.

4) Remove the ﬁlter basket q from the ﬁlter basket holder 9.

5) Rinse the ﬁlter basket q with clear water and insert it back

into the appliance.

6) Pour 10 cups of water into the water tank 0 and close the lid.

7) Connect the power plug to a power socket.

SKMK 1000 A2

■ 10 │ US-EN

8) Switch the On/Oﬀ switch 5 to position I. The On/Oﬀ switch

5 lights up. The brewing process begins.

9) Wait until your coﬀee is done brewing, then switch the On/

Oﬀ switch 5 to position O to turn the appliance oﬀ.

10) Empty the coﬀee pot 6 and rinse it with clear water one

more time.

11) Wait until the appliance has cooled down, then rinse the ﬁlter

basket q with clear water again.

12) Place the ﬁlter basket q and the coﬀee pot 6 back in the

appliance.

The appliance is now ready for operation.

Brewing coﬀee

Adding ground coﬀee to the appliance

If you grind your own coﬀee, we recommend selecting a medium

grind. The ﬁner the grind, the more intense and bitter; the coarser

the grind, the more watery and acidic the coﬀee will taste.

1) Open the lid.

2) Take out a paper ﬁlter (size 1 x 4) and fold its sides over.

Insert the paper ﬁlter into the ﬁlter basket q.

3) Use the measuring scoop w to add the ground coﬀee.

For each cup of ﬁlter coﬀee you wish to make, add approximately

one level measuring scoop w of ground coﬀee. If you prefer

weaker coﬀee, reduce the amount of ground coﬀee per cup.

SKMK 1000 A2 US-EN │ 11 ■

Filling the appliance with water

Health risk!

Always use drinking water to prepare your coﬀee!

1) Fill the water tank 0 with water. Use an appropriate amount

of water for the amount of ﬁlter coﬀee you wish to prepare.

Use the ﬁll level indicator 4 on the water tank 0 as a guide.

Close the lid of the appliance.

2) Place the coﬀee pot 6 back inside the appliance.

Never add more than 10 cups of water to the water tank 0

(MAX marker).

There is a small hole 3 on the back of the appliance.

This is a water overﬂow that prevents you from adding too much

water to the appliance. If too much water is added beyond the

MAX marking, the water runs through this water overﬂow 3 onto

the countertop.

If the appliance is moved when the water tank 0 is full (10 cups

of water), water may come out of the water overﬂow 3.

Never pour less than 2 cups of water into the water tank 0.

A small amount of the water is lost during the brewing process:

some of it evaporates, some of it remains in the coﬀee grounds.

This is why the amount of coﬀee in the coﬀee pot 6 is always less

than the amount of water you have poured into the water tank0.

SKMK 1000 A2

■ 12 │ US-EN

Starting the brewing process

The steam outlet openings 2 on the lid emit hot steam! There is a

risk of scalding!

Never open the lid during the brewing process! Hot steam may

escape or hot water may splash. There is a risk of scalding!

The hot plate 7 underneath the coﬀee pot 6 heats up to a high

temperature during brewing and while keeping your coﬀee hot.

There is a risk of burns!

1) Switch the On/Oﬀ switch 5 to position I. The On/Oﬀ switch

5 lights up. The brewing process begins.

You can remove the coﬀee pot 6 from the appliance temporarily

during brewing to pour a cup of coﬀee. Brewing stops automat-

ically so that no more coﬀee drips from the appliance. However,

you should place the coﬀee pot 6 back on the hot plate 7 with-

in 10 seconds. Otherwise, coﬀee may drip from the appliance.

You can stop the brewing process at any time by switching the

On/Oﬀ switch 5 to position O.

2) The hot plate 7 underneath the coﬀee pot 6 keeps your

coﬀee hot until you turn the appliance oﬀ by switching the

On/Oﬀ switch 5 to position O.

Descaling the appliance

Descale your coﬀee maker regularly.

Depending on the hardness of your water, you may have to

descale the appliance more or less frequently. If the water is very

hard, you will need to descale the appliance after approximately

30 uses; with soft water, after approximately 60 uses. Contact

your local water supplier to ask about the hardness of your

water.

Always use a descaling agent that is suitable for coﬀee makers

and follow the instructions.

How to descale:

1) Pour the descaling agent into the water tank 0.

2) Add the amount of water speciﬁed in the operating instruc-

tions of the descaling agent, but do not exceed the ten cup

mark on the ﬁll level indicator 4!

3) Place the coﬀee pot 6 back on the hot plate 7.

4) Switch the On/Oﬀ switch 5 to position I. The On/Oﬀ switch

5 lights up.

5) Wait until enough water for approximately 2 cups has run

through the appliance, then stop the brewing process by

switching the On/Oﬀ switch 5 to position O.

6) Allow the descaling agent to take eﬀect for approximately

15 minutes.

7) Repeat steps 4 to 6 twice.

8) Now, start the brewing process again and wait until the

water has run through the appliance completely.

9) Run three brewing cycles with a full tank 0 of clear water.

This will remove the residual descaling agent so that you can

use the coﬀee maker again.
